Characteristics of Tunnel Diodes Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-EELE-12124
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Characteristics of Tunnel Diodes (Product ID: 12124) as part of its electronics engineering lab equipment range. It is a self-contained board for plotting the V-I characteristic of a tunnel diode, including its negative-resistance region.
Quick Answer
Heavy doping makes a tunnel diode’s junction so thin that electrons tunnel through it, so the forward current first rises to a peak, falls to a valley as voltage increases (negative resistance), then rises again like an ordinary diode. A 0–2 V DC, 20 mA continuously variable regulated supply drives the diode, while a 3½-digit DC voltmeter (0–2 V) and ammeter (0–20 mA) read each point so students can find the peak and valley currents and voltages. It runs on 230 V ±10%, 50 Hz and patch cords are supplied. The tunnel diode type and quantity should be confirmed at quotation.
